Introducing Pete Birle

Pete Birle has been passionate about books from the very beginning. First, he loved reading them. Then, while still a kid, he began writing them. From his first story, Hugo: The Mouse With No Tail (which he co-wrote with three elementary school friends), to countless magazine and newspaper articles, to his published books, Pete has never stopped writing.

His speciality: sports stories for kids. As a former youth athlete, Pete enjoys writing about the players, teams and games that were the highlight of his years growing up on the New Jersey Shore.
